Lunch Box From a Milk Jug.

There are lots of products out in
stores which may cost you up to 20$ but in fact could be easily made with a
cost of 1$! Case in point: a lunch box or small container. Instead of spending
one month’s allowance on an object you could simply make do it yourself, learn
how to make a useful container by repurposing an item you already have at home;
like this lunch box from a milk jug. Here is the list of necessary items:

·an empty milk jug;

·a marker;

·a pair of scissors;

·a button;

·thread and needle;

·some embroidery floss;

·an elastic band;

·(optional) some decorative scrapbook paper;

·(optional) a brush;

·(optional) a bit of Mod Podge;

The steps for achieving such a
creative object are few and fairly easy. After you clean the milk jug (in and
out), take a marker and draw half a circle on each side of the jug. You should
have 3 of these half circles of the same height and the other one a lot taller;
the last one should best go opposite the side of the jug's handle, and should
be referred to as the lid. Now check to see if the flaps you fashioned fold
down properly. If the don't, take the scissors again and work on each corner of
your container, in order to make longer slits.

Then, take a large button and sew
it on the outside of the lid flap. Use the scissors to make a whole underneath
the bottom base of the container. Take a rubber band (preferably one which you
use for your hair) half way through the hole you just made and tie a knot on
the inside just like in the image. You are almost done. Try to make it more
appealing my decorating it. You could write something with decorative paper and
Mod Podge. Finally, there you have it: your own lunch box or container from a
1$ empty milk jug.
